<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sshafer11, post: 1962314, member: 67540&quot;]Obviously the author of these articles is used to dealing with higher end collectors but a lot of relevant advice here nonetheless. One of the things that really resonates with me is the advice to sell the extraneous coins. He may say &quot;common saints&quot; but that can apply to anything. I recently unloaded virtually all of the duplicates/extras/bad deals/ect and used that money towards coins I actually enjoy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone has their own goal in collecting,and you can never go wrong if you truly collect what you like but there is an &quot;end&quot; to every collection. I work in a coin shop occasionally and it is amazing how many collections meet their end by the collector dying and the family mercilessly selling the &quot;junk&quot; as soon as they get the chance. I see it first hand. I personally don&#039;t want that end to my collection. I want to sell it in my lifetime, and I want to see returns on it. To build a great collection it requires more than just a lone wolf attitude. You really gotta be a student of numismatics and that includes literally investing sometimes whether it be a good reference book or selling off the coins you never look at. That&#039;s just my opinion having been around the hobby for a few years now, and reading just a few Q David Bowers books <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
